    Problem with DX8 build140 and 3dmark2000 rev 1.1 on Win2k. Im stumped

    Ok fellows gurus...oops did I refer to myself as a guru? damn too late I here the Matrox Gods rumbling at me. I am having a problem after installing the 140 build of dx8 and it seems that I cannot find anyone else experiencing similar. After I installed the dx8 beta 140 everything seemed fine. All my games worked, 2d for some reason was much faster than before (something I read about a flaw in in win2k directdraw calls is supposedly fixed by dx8) but then I tried to run 3dmark2000 rev 1.1 which had been working fine before the install of dx8. After a few seconds of running the helicopter demo (each run varied a little bit) i suddenly had memory core dump and the computer rebooted. I have tried switching drivers, switching resolutions, reinstalling 3dmark2000 rev 1.1, reinstalling the dx8 beta but the memory core dumps continued until dx8 was removed (gotta love the fact that MS put that niffy uninstaller in there for us beta testers LOL) so any ideas?

        I installed 3dmark2000 on one of my oc'd celery machines similar to yours just to test that theory, but it works fine at all resolutions. Must be your config.. or too much overclocking.
        I can bet anything that somewhere in DX8 code there is a function called "D3D_Luck". Now if only we could tweak that..

            well i dont see how its the overclocking because if it was then games etc would be affected as well but their not, just 3dmark2000 rev 1.1. Well I just got beta 145 build today I will try it out as well

                I meant that as a joke, I have no clue what the problem could be. It's most likely a hardware conflict, given that you get a core dump and a system reset. Maybe DX8 doesn't like something about your system. With M$ products.. it's hard to tell. Good luck

                  Overclocking can effect one program it depends on how much the cpu is stressed. But in this case blame the beta
